    Default How do you say...?

    Of course, there are tons of disputed phonetic pronounciations of names throughout the series, so I'm just wondering how you say some of them. Feel free to add your own.

    Sephiroth:
    Seff-ih-roth

    Aeris:
    Air-iss

    Cait Sith:
    Kate Sith

    Yuffie:
    Yuff-ee

    Rinoa:
    Rinn-oh-ah

    Seifer:
    See-fur

    Eiko:
    Ee-ee-koe

    Zidane:
    Zidd-ane

    Brahne:
    Brawne

    Eidolon:
    Ee-doe-lonn

    Tidus:
    Tie-dus

    Chocobo:
    Choke-a-bow

    Bahamut:
    Baa-hah-mutt

    ... I'm sure there are more, now post!

    Valefor: "vail'-fur"
    Ifrit: "if'-rit"
    Shiva: "she'-va" (our history books pretends that the hindu god is siva. I said that was BS and wrote it shiva on everything anyways. there was another word they should've used their reasoning on in the same manner but didn't. another lesson in why history class is stupid^_^)
    Ixion: "ix'-ee-on"
    Bahamut: two-- "ba'-[h]u-mut" or "buh-ha'-mut"

    Seifer: "sy'-fer" (like cypher. see Steiner)
    Renzokuken: "rens''-o-koo'-ken" (although I've spent a lot of time thinking about this one. "reh-n-zo-ku-ka-n" comes to mind. but that's hard so I stick with the first one^^)
    Quistis: "kees'-tis"
    Irvine: "ir'-vin"
    Edea: "ih-dee'-ah"
    Ellone: "el-own'"
    Aeris: "air'-is"
    Sephiroth: "sef'-ir-oth" (after one-winged angel, all ideas of "seh-fir'-uth" were banished, happily)
    Tifa: "tih'-fa"
    Yuffie: "yuff'-ee"
    Celes: "stupidevilho" alternatively: "seh'-leez"
    Kefka: "kef'-kah" (has anyone decided on keh-f'ah with f'ah filled in with the profanity
    of your chosing?)
    Narshe: "stupideveilmarsh" alternatively: "nar'-shay"
    Galuf: "gal'-uf" (like gallop. but with more luf)

    I thought the samething until Final Fantasy X when they could actually say it.
    Take my love, take my land
    Take me where I cannot stand
    I don't care, I'm still free
    You can't take the sky from me
    Take me out to the black
    Tell them I ain't comin' back
    Burn the land and boil the sea
    You can't take the sky from me
    There's no place I can be
    Since I found Serenity
    But you can't take the sky from me...
    Listen to the Firefly theme.

    "Quezacotl", the lightning-elemental GF from FFVIII, is sure to raise some controversy, since it's an abridgement of the real mythological name. That would be "Quetzalcoatl", which didn't fit because the GF names were limited to nine characters.

    I'm still saying it that way too. I don't care what square says. It will always be COKE-OBO to me.
